I wanted to let you know more about the Kodi situation.

I called and spoke to the owner last night, trying to see if there was any other outlet for her besides surrendering 13 year old Kodi to rescue.

The cheapest vet estimate she could find was for $1000.00 for a dental with several extractions, and removal of two benign growths.

I asked if there were any family members who could help.

I asked if they could afford $20.00 a month, if they could be approved for a Care Credit Card.

She told me that they can not afford diapers and that there is no way that they can keep him as he ages and needs more and more in the way of medical care.

They are already living with her parents and up to their necks in debt.

It's not just this one dental and removal of these benign tumors.

People are hurting everywhere, and I know that some of you all are hurting as well.

We have had only $25.00 come through so far for Kodi.

I know it's summer and people are away and that he is 13.

But I also know that he may have several good years left.

We just got this from one of our members.

Brenda, thank you for loving Gigi so very much. She had a wonderful life with you. Our prayers are with you and your family.

It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you that we have lost our beloved Gigi. She passed peacefully yesterday morning, 07/11/11. We adopted her 8 years ago from Small Paws and she just turned 19 this past February. She was a joy and will join our other babies that we have lost, Oksana (one of the Skater pups) and Baby, the one that started our journey with Small Paws. It doesn’t get any easier. My heart goes out to the babies that need fostering or adoption. I just thought you’d like to know. RIP Gigi. Brenda Martin and the Martin Family>

We do have these three matching challenges for Kodi.

Is there anyone who can match one of them maybe?

From Barbe Von Netzer in OKC, we have this challenge. Thank you Barbe!

Rob, I can't imagine how difficult it is to do what you do. I am issuing a matching challenge for this present situation of $25/ dog and I have 3 so that's $75. If anyone can match it dog for dog, I encourage them to do so. Thanks, love and appreciate you, Barbe( and Gracey, Annie and Mattie Mae.>

And LIVE from Manhattan in New York City, Deborah Berger and her Bichon, Boris, want to issue this challenge, Thank you so much, Deborah.

Robin. I look at my senior dog Norma, a shi tzu who was a service dog for over 10 years and her health is sketchy. My heart aches for Kodi and all of the others who trusted us to advocate and treat them with the dignity they deserve, and obviously didnt get.

With that please issue a $100.00
challenge from Boris for those who need our help so desperately. Deborah>

And from Sue Hodges in Southern California we have this challenge. Thank you, again, Sue.

Robin, It certainly has been a hard day. Please issue a $100. matching challenge to help with Kodi. Best of luck,

Sue>

Ok, that's where we are for little Kodi. Is anyone home?

All My Love, Robin

Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
